Super Conan O’Brien  
  All week I’ve been watching The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien — Dear Colbert god, please don’t smite me. On the positive side, Conan hasn’t changed too much since moving to LA and an earlier timeslot. On the odd side, I keep thinking the background behind Conan looks a little weird. You know, it seems almost familiar in some ways. [...]

China’s Next Generation  

Several years ago a professor of mine was trying to explain to the class the concept of living inside China where the media is tightly controlled. To understand this, he used “Tank Man” of the 1989 Tiananmen Square protest as an example search using Yahoo! Images.

Because talk of revolution and protesting the Chinese government is forbidden.
